In terms of this Kith-Kith Mockup, I appreciate the colour scheme. It's calm yet beautiful. However the contrast between the title bars of the windows and the windows themself are fair to little. The titlebar should be a darker shade to draw the eye towards it, otherwise the eye is lost in the wind

Sorry, I really really dislike the Human Murrine Dark theme. The brown background is such an eyesore and its way to busy.

In terms of the New Wave theme, I think when a window is inactive, that dark grey bar at the top (the titlebar and the area around it) should be a lighter colour for readability purposes. The out of "inactive" windows stands out way to and is just distracting at the moment. For example, have a loo
